PDQ Lease Disposition by Cycle
Queryable CSV
Where each lease's production actually went, month by month, by disposition code.

Free. You will be asked to confirm an email address before the files are built — that is the only gate, and it is there so we can tell you when a large export is ready.
What this is
One of the sixteen delimited tables inside the monthly Production Data Query dump. RRC publishes the dump as a single archive; EZRRC publishes each table inside it separately so you can take the one you need instead of a 3.6 GB zip.
Seventeen million rows breaking each lease-month's volume out by disposition code: sold to a purchaser, run to a pipeline, used as lease fuel, vented or flared, injected, put into storage, lost in processing.
Production tells you how much came out of the ground. Disposition tells you what happened to it.
What you can do with it
Measure flaring and venting by lease, operator, field or district — the disposition codes are the only public source for that.
Reconcile produced volume against disposed volume, and see how much gas is used as lease fuel rather than sold.
Gotchas
Each disposition code is its own column, not a row — the table is very wide rather than long. Oil, gas, condensate and casinghead gas each have their own set.
Disposition should sum to production plus opening balance minus closing balance, and does not always. Discrepancies are real filings, not parsing errors.
A lease number is only unique with the oil/gas code and the district in it. Oil lease 027587 in District 08 and gas lease 027587 in District 08 are different leases; so is oil lease 027587 in District 09.
district_no here is RRC's INTERNAL district numbering (01-14, 20), not the designation the industry prints. Internal 07 is District 6E, 08 is 7B, 09 is 7C, 10 is District 08, 11 is 8A, 13 is 09 and 14 is District 10. The district directory is the lookup; reading the number as a label is wrong.
Volumes are whole numbers in the reporting unit — barrels for liquids, MCF for gas. There are no implied decimals here, unlike the EBCDIC ledgers.
Cycle year and cycle month are separate columns; cycle_year_month is the two of them concatenated as YYYYMM and is the cheapest thing to range on.
Production is reported by lease, not by well. A lease can be one well or two hundred.

RRC district (internal number) 14 values
Read by district_no
RRC's internal sequential district numbering, 01 to 14 plus 20 for statewide. The production data, the UIC database and the high-cost gas certifications all use this. Internal 07 is District 6E, 08 is 7B, 09 is 7C, 10 is District 08, 11 is 8A, 13 is 09 and 14 is District 10. There is no internal 12.

Oil or gas schedule 2 values
Read by oil_gas_code
Which schedule a lease is carried on. This is not decoration: an oil lease number and a gas lease number can be the same digits and mean different leases, so a lease key is only unique with this code and the district in it.
| Code | Means |
|---|---|
O |
Oil Carried on the oil proration schedule; lease numbers are oil lease numbers. |
G |
Gas Carried on the gas proration schedule; lease numbers are gas well IDs. |

What this joins to
The Railroad Commission never states these keys anywhere in the files. They are the reason the data is hard to use, so here they are with the exact columns on both sides.
PDQ Lease Disposition by Cycle joins to PDQ Regulatory Lease Directory on Oil gas code and District number and Lease number — many rows here share a single row there.
disposed of production from the lease
The lease key resolved to a name, operator and field.
pdq-lease-disposition-cycle.oil_gas_code = pdq-regulatory-lease-directory.oil_gas_code AND pdq-lease-disposition-cycle.district_no = pdq-regulatory-lease-directory.district_no AND pdq-lease-disposition-cycle.lease_no = pdq-regulatory-lease-directory.lease_no
PDQ Lease Disposition by Cycle joins to PDQ Lease Production by Cycle on Oil gas code and District number and Lease number and Cycle year month — one row here matches one row there.
was disposed of as
Production says how much came out of the ground; disposition says where it went — sold, flared, injected, used as lease fuel. Same lease and same cycle, one row each.
pdq-lease-cycle.oil_gas_code = pdq-lease-disposition-cycle.oil_gas_code AND pdq-lease-cycle.district_no = pdq-lease-disposition-cycle.district_no AND pdq-lease-cycle.lease_no = pdq-lease-disposition-cycle.lease_no AND pdq-lease-cycle.cycle_year_month = pdq-lease-disposition-cycle.cycle_year_month
